Louisville to Host Trampoline and Tumbling Championships

Gymnasts will tumble, bounce and flip into Louisville for the United States Trampoline and Tumbling Association National Championships now through Saturday, June 21 at the Kentucky Exposition Center.

More than 2,300 gymnasts are expected to compete in tumbling, trampoline, synchronized trampoline and double-mini trampoline at the 2014 USTA National Championships.

Held in Broadbent Arena, competitions run Tuesday – Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Saturday.
